Not that it's the same, of course, but growing up in Brooklyn, I always associated "Creedmoor" with the insane asylum.

From Wikipedia: "It was developed in partnership by Hornady Senior Ballistics Scientist, Dave Emary and Dennis DeMille, the VP of product development for Creedmoor Sports, "
And apparently I can't spell "Creedmoor" correctly.

With financial help from the state of New York, a site for the “American Wimbledon” was purchased in late 1872. Located on Long Island, the Creed farm, that resembled an English moor, was dubbed “Creedmoor.” After considerable clearing, development and construction, the range was opened on April 25, 1873 and the first Annual Matches were held at the new range. NRA’s program gained wider acceptance and even the skeptical Regulars began to change their ideas about marksmanship training, and in the years ahead took steps to adopt systems developed at Creedmoor.
Dennis DeMille is a retired Marine Gunner who is a former national high power champion. At the time of the cartridge development, Dennis was GM of Creedmoor Sports, a high-power supply company. It was in CA, but since has moved to Huntsville AL. They make the famous Creedmoor shooting coat, a near must for high-power across the course shooting.
Nice entrance sign.
